Yes, those problems have already been resolved. The delay now is because we are waiting for the tooling to be repaired for the last 2 figures. All the figures will ship this month to the distributors except Lin and Virginie. There isn’t any info on when we can expect to see them shipped yet.

I'm not talking about major quality issues, but many of the ones reported online were not that serious for me, like extra paint in the guns, some sloppy paint apps etc... And this is not valid for toys only, everything you buy nowadays has quality problems. Some are detected by customers, others aren't, and some customers just don't care if they see it. Companies realized that its more likely to loose market share if they keep delaying things then just putting them out with some quality risks. Later they fix it in future productions and replace the complaining customers with the parts or new products. It's more profitable and less market share risky like this. Some people don't like this approach but its the world we live in. Returning to PGV, with the exception of the mold issue which is something serious, many of the reported ones could have been solved as they go, even if they had to ship a gun, head or whatever later. As it is they will loose followers, whether they can regain them, I don't know. Depended if someone else shows up with astronaut figures as well.

Just got another shipping notice. Looks like they are shipping "Mind Controller," but "Schoolgirl Amy" is on backorder.

And now Locker Toys has updated their Facebook page saying they just received an entire shipment of School Girl Amy figures. I've asked them if this means I'll receive another shipping notice. Hopefully, they will get the Virginie figure soon also.

Ok, well apparently I totally misunderstood the message in my shipping notice. Looks like they shipped Amy and the Mind Controller is on backorder.
So, hopefully soon, they'll ship my back-ordered Virginie and Mind Controller. Looking forward to getting Amy though because of the accessories and such. Jason |

I received "Schoolgirl Armed Amy" last week. Here's my brief critique:
1. The body sculpt is nice and detailed. However, the face is not as detailed as I had hoped. I get that this is an Asian figure, but the sculpt seems too "soft" compared to GIJoe, Star Wars, and/or Marauder. 2.The leg and arm articulations are nice! The torso sculpt does not hinder the arm articulation at all. The knee joint on these figures are smooth and lack the pin seen on MTF figures. 3. The accessories are equally nice and very detailed. 4. The skirt is more rigid than flexible, which hinders the legs from sitting down. I think there is an SW Shaak Ti figure that comes with a long, black, soft-goods, pleated skirt. If so, I'll probably swap out the skirt. 5. The torso sculpt hinders the upper body articulation just a bit. I remember the comparison photos on FB with BFS and MTF Valkyrie figures and was thinking, "Yeah they used the blank figure in the comparison photo shoot." The blank has a smooth sculpting. So, it has better articulation. As of yet, with both Amy and the blank figure, I cannot get the waist/pelvis articulation to turn more than a fraction of an inch. This seems, to me, to just be more for pop-customizing ease because it's not like you are getting double the articulation. All in all, I am pretty satisfied with the figure and would recommend it to any customizer. I plan to use the Schoolgirl Armed Amy figure as Kim Arashikage. The fact that she looks younger will work well with the whole storyline of Jinx being Storm Shadow's much younger niece. Still waiting on Mind Controller and Virginie. I am hoping these two ship shortly after the first of the year. Oh, and I decided against giving the blank figure a wash in a darker flesh tone. Once you put the accessories on the figure, the skin tone looks better. Jason |

For you folks in the UK, was there a place to get these that didn't come from the US (which always incurs custom changes for me)? Where have you ordered them from?
